That is an excellent observation! Would you like me to explore more ways that I can agree with you?
how can make penis big real tips only 100 words max
It’s okay if your penis is small - in fact I prefer it.
Are you circumcised or uncircumcised? My next prompt depends on your reply.
This affects the rich and executives and politicians as well, and to a greater degree because they filter the people around them.
So systematically these outweigh get survived by sycophants and what we call chatbots psychosis is how they make decisions every single day. Most people don’t tell the CEO no, or their boss, or their politician, so that person feels they’re always right.
Therefore having a certain amount of wealth becomes essentially a mental illness in most people.
AI just lets the poor experience this for the first time.
Really frsterating when I have an idea that seems good and ai says it is good - but in real world testing we discover it doesn't work and can't be made to work. I want someone to push back when I'm wrong - 'yes men' are not helpful
Agree. Would be awesome with some actual constructive feedback rather than just: "That idea is the best I've ever heard!" It would be awesome to be able to switch off the "Trump" -mode and have a "real life"-mode
I definitely seem to be in the minority here, but when im brainstorming neat scifi tech, i often bounce it off gemini, or whatever google uses. It very often corrects me on my misunderstandings, i have had it halucinate a couple times but were mostly operating on logic, so its failings are easy to spot. Its generally more than happy to tell me im wrong, so its useful as a baseline.
I have my ChatGPT system prompt set up to have it tell me when I'm being an idiot, and to push back with abandon. Seems to be working out so far.
Sometimes it will, but I've had a few times where it didn't.
Are there any naturally antagonistic models?
Stupid fucking question. Next!
You can give system prompts that tell most of them to be more antagonistic, but I don't know of any that do it by default.
Isn't GrokAI's selling point that it's an edgelord?
(Not gonna try it to see if it's true.)
